I am in the same situation. I originally bought a 1G Belkin leather folio until I could get my RebelTouch. I can't type numbers/letters near the edges of the folio. I loved the RebleTouch, but couldn't use my bluetooth dongle or dock it in my iJuke or clock radio.

The choices for hard/semi-hard cases seem to be (grades from iLounge):

The Casemate and Speck haven't received a lot of press. I like the idea of the Casemate, because it is leather, and less likely to scratch the back of the iPod. The idea of the slide off back also being a stand is very appealing for the Speck.

As I stated in my post, I have the RebelTouch by SwitchEasy. It increases the thickness of the unit too much. It does not fit in my Jansen clock radio dock or my Crosley iJuke dock. I even tried other iPod dock adapters in the hope I could make it work with no success. I also had to clip the neoprene strip between the headphone jack and dock connector on the RebelTouch to allow for my bluetooth dongle to be fully inserted.

I loved the RebelTouch for its style and protection but its dockability is inadequate. The case has to be completely removed for docking situations.

I even looked into SendStation's Dock Extender, which would have made the case usable for docking, but I didn't like the added length the extender and my dongle would have created.
